Circulon Symmetry Hard-Anodized Nonstick Frying Pan, 8.5-Inch, Black

This is one of my better purchases. I was worried that it would be some small flimsy thing. Well, it's not! I'm very pleased with this nice, heavy, very large, nonstick wok. The wok that my mother had, had a round bottom so one had to put a ring for the wok to sit in around the burner. I thought it was great. I'd been working on a stir fry recipe that was really liked by my family, but my skillet was overflowing with all the ingredients. Ergo, The Wok. After a lengthy search, I saw this flat bottom wok and hoped that the flat surface would let the sides heat evenly and that I could, not only make my stir fry better, but I could (in theory) use the flat part as a kind of skillet. first thing I did was cook up some sunny side up eggs, just to test out the "non stick" thing, right? When the time came, I shook the wok a few times and dumped the eggs onto a plate with buttered toast (Adam and Eve on a raft) and the eggs came out of the wok perfectly.. and realllly fast!. I almost missed the plate. Gotta work on my aim. Otherwise, this wok is fantastic. And my stir fry is awesome👍.. I would SO recommend this wok to anyone who wants to get their wok on! Very heavy duty. Good thing that it has that helper handle on there, without it it would be very heavy and awkward. Superb!

Build Quality, Weight, Nonstick AF. Love it. My friend has had a set of these for 5 years and they are still amazing. Now I'm slowly building my collection.

Performs well. I had some Circulon at a condo on Kauai last year. Liked them well enough to add one at home. Advice is often to heat the skillet first, add a little oil then cook. Eggs did well, no stick. Slid onto the breakfast plate perfectly. Let it cool before putting into the sink. Wash with warm water and no scratch pad, you will be fine. It is reported dishwasher safe, but I can clean it by hand. Of course best to use silicone, plastic, or wooden utensils. Never metal. No trouble looking to another size if I need a bigger skillet.

I've owned Circulon before and have always been happy with it. These pans are sturdy, heavy duty construction and cook evenly with no hotspots. The non-stick surface needs no oil, though I use a small amount as a flavoring agent. Would definitely buy these pans again.

I bought this pan in 2016 and have used it primarily for cooking sausages for breakfast (about 3 times a week), at it has finally lost its non-stick mojo. I tried to restore its non-stick qualities by using vinegar and baking soda and then oiling the pan lightly afterward...it still sticks. Perhaps 8 years is a fair lifespan for a non-stick pan. When it worked, it worked well.

So far, so good. All claims of being dishwasher safe check out thus far. Easy to clean, by hand or machine. Even heat distribution. Non-stick surface is NOT teflon and doesn't appear to have any scratch issues (though after years of being conditioned to NEVER put a metal utensil in a nonstick pan, I'm habitually reluctant to grab a fork and start poking into a chicken breast while it's cooking. Still, these pans are really doing themselves justice since I gave them to my husband as a christmas gift. My only issue is cosmetic as the brown color is U-G-L-Y and I can't imagine why anyone at circular would have said, " you know what everyone loves to see in the their kitchen, something too dark to look clean and too light too look dramatic. Lets make pans in brown for people who want them to match nothing else they own." Maybe that's why they were priced so well. I try not to look at them hanging next to my silver and cobalt blue pans and simply remember how well they work and that I can put them in the dishwasher instead of wiping them gently with a chamois cloth so I don't scuff the surface and give my family cancer. Hurray for that.

Love this pan! I threw out all my old teflon pans and bought 2 more of these in bigger sizes.

Bought this 12" skillet to go with the set of Circulon Symmetry I purchased, the 10" skillet was a duplicate of the one I got with my set, but I've put it aside and will use it when the other one gets beat-up like I know it will, since I use my skillets so much. Love the bottoms of these pans, they have a heavy flat stainless steel disc on the bottom that keeps them from warping and keeps them sitting flat on my smooth top electric range. The non-stick surface seems very durable and food slides right out with no stuck on spots, this makes cleanup a breeze. I also like that these pans are not too heavy to handle, yet they sit nice and flat on the cook top. I purchased a very expensive Calphalon 12" skillet last year, paid over twice the price of these two skillets for it and it warped within the first two months of use,leading to a hot spot on the bottom and food burning to the skillet. I am very happy with these skillets and the other Symmetry set I bought, very good quality for the price, easy to cook with, and super easy to clean up, they can even go in the dishwasher. I hand wash my pots, but in a pinch, the fact that I can put them in the dishwasher is a big bonus. These get used almost everyday and so far I can't say a bad thing about them. Since the price is reasonable, if they last a couple of years I'll be very happy.

Fantástico. Sano.

Cooks really well, cleans up easily . Great wok.

This is the best. Don't be fooled by the others.
